I don't raise rodents, I just go buy 250-275 every month

If you want to feed frozen, that's fine, but you need to feed what the snake is used to a couple more times to get him/her happy with eating. If the snake is on live adult mice, then slowly switch over to pre-killed mice offered on tongs/hemostats. After a few meals of the PK mice, then offer a VERY warm, fully thawed mouse on tongs.

It may take awhile, and some snakes just never accept f/t food. If you want a snake that will 98% of the time take frozen, get a boa. They are garbage disposals. Mine would eat a wood block covered in fur if I offered it to her, haha.
